Legos and Jell-O . . . important stuff!

Our Lego KidsFest purchases have gotten lots of play this week.  Beau LOVES his train set.  We immediately put together the original set (and found the right battery for the train).  Since then, Beau has added the extra tracks, bridges, tunnels, and more.  He's really had so much fun with it!
Lincoln worked diligently every chance he got - we were really busy with the pool, church, and the pool again.  He finished on Sunday evening, and we were all so proud!  The Ninja Turtles set had 888 pieces and is for ages 7 - 14 . . . but Lincoln is a Master Builder (according to him!) and totally rocked it!  He has spent a lot of time this week playing with the characters and the set.   
For some reason we are on a Jell-O kick.  Maybe we saw a commercial, or maybe someone brought it up, I'm really not sure.  We made blue on Monday - Lincoln's favorite color.  We made green on Wednesday - Beau's favorite color.  As a Mom, Jell-O seems like a food that is a waste being that it has no nutritional value.  But the boys eat tons of fruits, veggies, and just regular healthy foods, so a little Jell-O is fine!   Love those grins! 
We've been having fun this week, and we are planning lots more for the weekend.  We have a trips to the library and car wash planned, a stop at church to pick up Sunday School curriculum, making more Jell-O, the pool on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, lots of playing, lots of brother arguments (just keeping it real!), lots of brother hugging (after said arguments), a little golf at the club, college football on TV, a new recipe for Sunday night . . . whew . . . I'm hoping for a nap in there somewhere . . . between all of the fun . . . and we will definitely have fun!
